| Main classifications | Separate and manage based on color (green, brown, red, yellow, black) and whether the kernels are whole, split, or molted. |
| Purchase criteria | It includes color, particle size, moisture, breakage, foreign matter, peeling status, soaking and boiling properties, shape after cooking, grindability, and inspection history. |
| Customers | It is a manufacturer of mixed grains and small packages, HMR and dining-out products, soups, curries, and salads, Indian-style dal, and powders, bakery products, and vegan foods. |
| Key Risk | The issues include mixing of colors and shapes, mixing of split and whole grains, deterioration of cookability due to long-term storage, moisture, pests, and foreign matter, and a disconnection in origin, labeling, and inspection documents. |
| Operational direction | It goes beyond simple sales of imported grains to connect specifications, lots, processing tests, RFQs, claims, and repurchases by intended use. |
